Future Climate Alaska

CC4L has created a neat visualization of future climate predictions for Alaskan and Western Canadian towns and cities. The visualization uses R Shiny to connect a Leaflet map with a range bar chart.

Select a location on the map and the bar chart automatically updates to show annual past and future temperature ranges by month. You can also use the application to view precipitation trends. The range for the predicted temperature and precipitation values are based on climate models using mid-rage emissions.
